Problem/activity:
For each pair of numbers, determine if the values are equivalent. Explain your reasoning for each one.
a.
$$-0.25$$
and
$$\frac{1}{-4}$$
b.
$$-\left ( \frac{1}{4} \right )$$
and
$$\frac{-1}{-4}$$
c.
$$\frac{-1}{4}$$
and
$$-\frac{1}{4}$$


Standard options: 
A. Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers. (Computations with rational numbers extend the rules for manipulating fractions to complex fractions.)
B. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers.
C. Apply and extend previous understandings of addition and subtraction to add and subtract rational numbers; represent addition and subtraction on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram.


Thought: This problem involves understanding fractions and division to divide rational numbers, such as 1, -4, 4, and -1. This problem also involves an understanding of multiplication: if p and q are integers, then -(p/q) = (-p)/q = p/(-q).
Answer: B

Now, assign the following problem or activity to one or more relevant standards it aligns with.

options: Count to 100 by ones and by tens.

Write numbers from 0 to 20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0-20 (with 0 representing a count of no objects).

Count forward beginning from a given number within the known sequence (instead of having to begin at 1).
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this warm-up is for students to participate in part of the Questions About Us routine. Students have worked with 5-frames in previous sections and as an option during counting collections. In this activity, 5-frames are introduced as a way to represent how many students are here today. A blackline master is provided, but the 5-frames should be modified to match the number of students in the class. For example, if there are 24 students in the class, four 5-frames and 4 extra squares should be displayed. This will allow students to use the representation to also determine how many students are absent in future lessons by referring to the empty squares. This display will be used during the  Questions About Us warm-up in later lessons, so create the display in a place in the classroom that can easily be seen by students.
In the synthesis, students look at the new 5-frame representation and compare it to the representations based on student ideas created in the previous lesson.

Questions About Us 5-Frames
Required Preparation
Gather the poster created during Questions about Us in the previous lesson.
Launch
“How can we use the 5-frames to show how many of us are here?”
30 seconds: quiet think time
1 minute: partner discussion
Share responses.
Activity
Demonstrate a student suggestion for how to use the 5-frames.
“How can we figure out how many of us are here?” (We can count each person. We can count each circle in the 5-frame.)
Count each student.
“How many of us are here today?”
Count each circle.
“How many of us are here today?”

Activity Synthesis
Display one of the representations based on student ideas from the previous lesson and the new representation with 5-frames.
“These are both different ways that we showed how many of us are here. What do you notice?”
